Short detour on the drive Aberdeen (L's brother) to Oban (dog sit week). Impressed by both the quality of a face picture graffitied onto the water tower and how they had got in -over, through, or under the high mesh fence with its rotating spikes top? Lovely golden tree autumnal leaves on a sunny day. From Templeton car park -where there is an open shelter for groups to sit on logs around a woodfire and connect with nature and not being in Dundee.Chris Pearson07/11/2023
